I suppose the experience of listening to this album would be greatly enhanced with drugs, which is the case for about 70% of these entries. Fortunately, it's still pretty good without molly.
According to Shaun Ryder, the producer Paul Oakenfold instructed them to make Bob's Yer Uncle "sexy for the ladies." This is interesting to me, because very few of these musicians seem to write for a female audience in mind. And, of course, they hilariously missed the mark. The song was okay, but the lyrics betrayed their own cluelessness.
So I guess we are wrapping up the stage where every other album comes from Manchester. If this was our farewell, it was a pretty solid goodbye.
RATING: 4/5
